It was in 1876 when the first Achille Savinelli opened a
pipe shop in Milan, Italy. By 1924 Achille's son Carlo was making pipes in the back of his father's shop
bearing the family name. After WWII, the second Achille (grandson of the founder)decided it was time to
expand the brand beyond Italy's shores, and thus the Savinelli pipe entered into pipe lore and history.
Using only the finest grades of Sardinian and Corsican briar which has been air cured for a minimum of 15
years, every Savinelli pipe is made with great care and pride in the knowledge that each pipe will eventually
make someone very proud and satisfied.
